Racing season has started again and we are
getting prepared. The weather in District 5 has been really cold
and wet so the season is getting a late start. Josh got a new KX
250 and has been riding as often as he can. Marlin is getting closer
to buying some land and is really concentrating on that right now.
1/24/02
We took a break over winter so we haven't
raced in a while. Since the holidays are over we will begin to get ready
for this years season. Marlin's looking for some land to buy and put a
house on. This is taking up most of his time right now. If he gets enough
land then he will have a place to practice everyday. Josh has been skiing
a little this winter to stay active. His job does not give him much free
time to go south to ride, so he will probably wait till the snow melts
before he starts riding again. We look forward to this season and hopefully
we will be able to ride more often.

We finally got to another race and this weekend
we competed at Steel City. The track was real nice and we both felt good
all day. We decided to race Collegeboy because we have not raced in a while.
The first moto went real well with Marlin finishing 11th and Josh finishing
13th. The second moto was not to bad but the sun started going down and
we couldn't see on some parts of the track. We are not sure what our overall
was because it was so late after the second moto we decide to leave without
checking. There were about 25 riders in the class and we felt pretty good.
7/5/01
We took a little break from racing but we
are still riding often. We went to a new practice track in Carrolltown,
PA on June 30. It is called Mucky Pond Raceway. It is a real nice track
comparable to Steel City and High Point. It has good soil for excellent
traction and a few high speed sections. I recommend it to anyone that is
looking for some good practice. Go to mototracks.com
under Scoob Hills for directions or call (814) 344-2034

We went to Steel City on June 10th. The weather
was very nice and the track conditions were pretty good. The practice was
real muddy because they watered so much and we didn't get a good practice.
We felt pretty good in the race but we didn't get very good starts. Marlin
went 18-17 with 17th overall and Josh went 21-18 with 21st overall. There
were about 30 people in the class.
5/14/01
Since Josh didn't qualify and Marlin did not
do very well in the qualifier, we decided to forget about the nationals
this year and concentrate on improving. Our goal is to move to the A class
by the end of the year. We figure that if a B rider can qualify for the
nationals then he is fast enough for A class. So if we improve enough to
qualify for B class then we are fast enough for A class. So we plan on
focusing on A class because we are not getting any younger.
5/07/01
The qualifier at Pleasure Valley didn't go
very well. Marlin did qualify but with an 8th. Josh went down hard the
first moto and just couldn't get it together in the second. He ended up
with 9th. He is going to participate next weekend and try to qualify again
at Field of Dreams
4/30/01
Marlin raced at Sussex County Speedway in
Virginia and Josh raced at High Point on April 29th. Marlin went 7-8 with
7th overall out of 14 total. Josh ended up with 18th with 41 riders in
the class. We feel pretty good about the qualifier this coming weekend
and hopefully we qualify.
4/23/01
To prepare for the qualifier at Pleasure Valley
we went to the Pleasure Valley race on April 22nd. It was pretty muddy
and we had some trouble the first moto but did a little better the second
moto. Josh went 11-7 with a 9th overall and Marlin went 12-9 with a 13th
overall. We are going to work hard these next couple weeks and hopefully
we will qualify on May 5th-6th.
4/12/01
Josh went to the qualifier at Steel City on
March 31st. It was real muddy and he had some bad luck and didn't finish
well. He decided not to ride on Sunday. Marlin was traveling overseas for
work and could not attend the Steel City qualifier. We are planning on
attending the qualifier at Pleasure Valley on May 5th-6th. Hopefully we
will have better luck there.
3/12/01
We got another chance to ride on March 9th-11th.
The weather was very nice and we got a lot of good riding time in. If the
snow melts Josh will be riding at Pleasure Valley Raceway on March 18th.
There are two qualifiers coming on March 24th-25th and March 31st-April
1st. Marlin is going to try and go to the qualifier on the 24th and Josh
is going to try and go on the 31st.
2/20/01
The weather was very nice on Feb. 9th and
10th and we got to do some practicing. We felt pretty good and are ready
for the 2001 season. We are not sure when our first race will be but hope
to be racing sometime in March.
1/17/01
The holidays are over and it's time to start
thinking about racing again. Marlin and Josh plan to start riding early
this year since they have the opportunity to ride in Virginia. We plan
on practicing for the first time this year on Feb. 9th.
11/20/00
Things got a little crazy the last couple
months and we didn't get a chance to update our web page. Marlin got a
job in Norfolk, VA and started on July 3rd. We did get a chance to race
most of the District 5 State Championship races.

Marlin graduated and is still waiting to here
from a company about future employment. He has been riding a lot because
he has so much free time. Josh has been riding with him. Lately we had
some bike problems but we got everything in order and our bikes are running
great. We plan on racing again soon.
5/2/00
Marlin is studying for finals today and Josh
is working. Josh might go riding this afternoon when he gets home. Marlin
has to work Thursday and Friday but he definitely wants to go riding Friday
afternoon. Josh will probably go with him.
5/1/00
This week Josh plans on doing some practicing,
but Marlin has Finals and doesn't know if he will be able to ride this
week. They have a wedding to go to on saturday and they might not race
on sunday.
